Just started internship, team I’m working on has me doing stuff that I don’t have much interest in.
Hey all, I accepted an EE internship this summer and off the bat they got we working on wiring harness projects. During my interview I never once mentioned wiring harnesses and heavily leaned on my experience doing embedded coding and hardware design.
I’m not sure if I even have any leverage as an intern to ask for a different project, and softly implied I’d like to work on other projects. At the end of the day I emailed one employee who had tons of PCBs on his desk.
I feel like my skills will stagnate since harness wiring is the complete opposite of what I want to do, but again I am not sure if asking for a different team is something within my abilities as an intern.
Thoughts?
Edit: I’m gonna be the best wiring harness engineer EVER. Gonna knock it outta da park.
